ISSUE: Various adhesives and sealants are used to perform many service repairs. A partial list of these Ford products that are available through the Ford Parts System along with their proper use and application is shown below.
ACTION: If adhesives and sealants are required to perform a service repair, refer to the following product information and the appropriate Shop Manual.
Ford Stud And Bearing Mount (EOAZ-19554-BA)/ Ford Threadlocker 262 (E2FZ-19554-B)
These adhesives are high strength threadlockers. They are used for locking all fasteners that must withstand:
^ Heavy shock and vibration.
^ Extreme chemical and environmental conditions, such as solvents, oils, and water immersion.
They prevent fluid/vacuum leaks and seal out rust or corrosion. Their typical applications include securing the following items.
^ Intake manifold bolts
^ Power steering pump adjusting bolts
^ Engine studs
^ Ring gear bolts
^ Seat bolts
^ Cup plugs
To use these adhesives, clean the fastener threads with a wire brush and a non-petroleum based solvent. Apply one or two drops to the threads and torque to the required specifications.
NOTE: THESE ARE HIGH STRENGTH THREADLOCKERS AND THEY REQUIRE SPECIAL EFFORT FOR REMOVAL.
Ford Threadlock And Sealer (EOAZ-19554-AA)
This product is a medium strength threadlocker and sealer which stops air, oil, and fuel leakage. It is a hand tool removable adhesive and is used on aluminum threads. It prevents fluid/vacuum leaks and seals out rust or corrosion. Its typical applications include sealing and securing the following items.
^ Oil pan bolts
^ Valve cover bolts
^ Flywheel attaching bolts
^ Door latch attaching bolts
To use this adhesive, clean the fastener threads with a wire brush and a non-petroleum based solvent. Apply one or two drops to the threads and torque to the required specifications.
Ford Pipe Sealant With Teflon (D8AZ-19554-A)
This product seals and locks air, oil, fuel and hydraulic threaded fasteners. This light paste sealant instantly seals without fouling. It is non-shredding and operates in temperatures up to 400~F. It prevents corrosion of fitting /fastener threads and locks against vibrational loosening. Its typical applications include sealing the following items.
^ Transmission oil coolant lines
^ Fuel inlet fittings
^ Intake manifold vacuum switches
^ Engine oil galley plugs
To use this sealer, clean off residual oil, coolant and other contaminants from the threads. Apply sealer completely around the second and third threads. Install the part and torque to the required specifications.
Ford Gasket Maker (E2AZ-19562-B) And Ford Gasket Eliminator (E1FZ-19562-A)
These products cure in the absence of air. They are used to gasket two machined surfaced flanges. Each product will fill a gap up to .010". The sealants will not cure until the parts are assembled. Once cured, they will remain pliable and flex with movement of the parts. Their typical applications include sealing the following items.
^ Oil dip stick tubes
^ MTX case halves (Gasket Eliminator)
^ Water Pumps
^ Input bearing retainers
^ Rear main bearing parting lines
To use these sealants, make sure all the old gasket material has been removed.
CAUTION: AVOID USING METAL SCRAPERS BECAUSE THEY CAN ETCH THE SURFACES AND PREVENT A GOOD SEAL.
Clean both surfaces with a non-petroleum based solvent to remove all oil, grease and other contaminants. Apply a small bead of sealant continuously around one surface only and then put the pieces together.
NOTE: REMEMBER, THESE PRODUCTS CURE IN THE ABSENCE OF AIR, SO PLENTY OF TIME IS AVAILABLE TO DO A THOROUGH JOB.
